Great food. Weak service. Enough said. Eat here for good food if you don't mind your order being forgotten, the waitstaff being unfamiliar with the restaurant and general staff malaise. But, again, the food is great. And please leave room for the German chocolate cake!!!!
Idylwood GrillResponded on December 14, 2024
Robert, thank you for letting us know how things went when you came in for lunch. We accept the good and the constructive feedback. We're glad that you enjoyed the food and the dessert, but were not satisfied with the service our server provided. We will take the appropriate action to correct those shortcomings. We hope you give us a chance to make it up to you.

Made an appointment, but when we got there, the host didn't know where to put us. The food was average at best little too salty for my taste. That goes for my seafood linguini, and Fish for my wife. When your dish is too salty for me to taste other flavors in the entree. That's a sure sign of average resrautants in my humble opinion. The place was busy with elderly customers. Maybe their other dishes are better, but I probably won't go back.
Idylwood GrillResponded on November 18, 2024
Hi Nicholas, thanks for providing thorough details about your dining experience. We remember when the host didn't know if he was to sit you upstairs or downstairs. Him being new is not an excuse because that indicates we have to train him better. As far as the food being salty, we have reviewed your comments with the chef. We were not on the best game with your party and we humbly ask for an opportunity to make it up to you on a future visit.

My date enjoyed her chicken piccata while I thought the seafood linguini, with nice looking seafood components, was only fair because of the boring sauce. The cheesecake was very tasty.
Idylwood GrillResponded on November 15, 2024
Thanks Barry for writing about your dining experience. We're glad your group enjoyed the Chicken Piccata and the cheesecake. We're sorry that the Seafood Linguini was not up to standards. Your feedback has been shared with the Chef to see what can be done about that sauce.
